Boca Recovery Center
Philosophy

Boca Recovery Center is here to provide the best quality care in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. We are passionate about helping people overcome addiction and supporting them to rebuild their lives on a foundation of health and well being. Addiction is a family disease and our highly trained staff will work closely with our clients and their loved ones to support the healing process. Through an individualized process, we are committed to the instillation of hope in situations that may have appeared hopeless. Addiction is a cunning and baffling affliction and there is no one-size-fits-all method that can ensure a person’s successful recovery. Our clinical staff all practice at a Master’s or Doctoral level. Our passion comes from personal and professional experience. We love to be a part of our clients’ story. We provide a strength based assessment process to facilitate accurate treatment planning and focus. Together, we create a plan of action that will address specific needs and help build a solid foundation for your recovery. We occupy a beautiful location in sunny South Florida near the hub of Deerfield Beach, just ½ mile from the ocean. The recovery community is strong and convenient. Our passionate, insightful staff are fully committed to the goal of providing a safe, comfortable, cutting edge treatment experience. Our relationship with clients starts from the first call and we remain available through our alumni program. This encourages peer relationships to remain active well beyond treatment.

Areas of Specialization

Animal Therapy
Animal therapy (also called animal-assisted therapy and pet therapy) supports recovery and emotional wellbeing by helping people develop relationships with animals. Animal therapy can be a one-time or ongoing experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.

Aftercare Support
Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc.

Compassionate staff members with a strong focus on teaching the patient that it is okay to forgive themselves and to move forward. Mindfulness and recognizing triggers and behavior modification was paramount and one of the most helpful tools in the process. Staffing ratios are outstanding, there is always a staff member available for a chat. Clients are treated with respect, dignity and kindness and the teamwork approach is extremely effective. They haven't franchised yet... we need more places like this.

My daughter has not been there yet, but i received a call from the Executive and she is giving my daughter the next scholarship they get. Many prayers. She is severely sick mentally and emotionally. I know a ton of you know her story. I will update you when she gets the blessing call from Boca.
